Identify the independent variable. Organisms that get their energy by breaking down dead organisms and animal wastes AND make nutrients in the soil. A process used by plants to acquire their own energy. A waste product produced by plants during photosynthesis Tiny organisms usually found in large bodies of water that consume other small organisms. A sugar produced during photosynthesis by producers Organisms that only consume producers. Carbon Dioxide, water, and sunlight Organisms that cannot produce their own food and must eat to get energy Tiny photosynthetic organisms usually found in large bodies of water and are the most common producers in these waters Organisms that eat only consumers. How are the number of flies effected by the amount of meat that is rotten in a garbage? Identify the dependent variable. Organisms that get their energy from the sun through photosynthesis Organisms that eat both plants and animals
